went down stairs to ask DIR. Walker
what he thought of her. He said:
"1 think you have restored her
reason, Miss Rembert. You have
proved yourself most skillful and
successful physician. All she needs
now is the gentle and effective slim
ulant of happiness. You and Phil
can give her that.
"But she is so weak, Doctor;
when will she be strong and well ?'
"Ah! don't be impatient; she is
stronger than you think. You have
still control over her will-bid her
receive her happiness-and then
give her what she most loves-foc-
ers, music, and after awhile read to
her something pleasant and sooth-
ing" Then turning to DIR. Barron,
he added:
"Another thing, Doctor, send
away that abominable Creole, with
her beastly face, and give her new
attendant-one that she will not fear
or dislike"
'I acW," said DIR. Barron briefly;

a holiday that day, (the very first

that we should take DIR. Walker to

She was evidently very near her

CHAPTER -NXIII.


The morning dawned bright and
clear.
There had been shower during
the night, which cooled the air, and
brought fresh life to birds and flow
ers, and glistening foliage, SO that to
my own thankful and happy heart,
and beaming eyes, this home of love,
refinement, and beauty, was more
than ever charming to me, and to
think that it was to be the home of
my cousin Helen. Truly she was
worthy of such a home-and era
venswood' was even worthy Of her,
After breakfast we had a feast of
fruits-oranges, bananas, melons,
and lucious grapes-and then came
round to the front porch the roomy
phaeton, with its softly cushioned
velvet seats, and its lovely bays !;
and there were three, who being
seated within, set forth upon the
pleasaat drive to Barronville. Yet
there were two of us who grew silent
and thoughtful and even sad, as we
approached the gloomy place with
its sorrow-haunted house and its
stricken inmates, yet still my heart
was full of hope and trust, for [ felt
assured that my prayers had been
heard, and were even now being an
swered.
DIR. Barron received us himself,
gravely, and courteously, and / fan
cied that his look of hopeless, des-
perate sadness, and bitter cynicism,
had given place to one of hope, and
anxious expectation.
/ left the gentlemen in the sitting
room, and went out into the hall, !,
whittier he followed me, and I eagerly
asked him of Winnie He said,
'SShe passed a perfectly quiet night.
/ sat there myself the entire night,
but she has been little restless this
morning, and seems to be slowly
waking-go and see her Miss Rem
bert, and prepare her if you can, for
an interview with Mr.. Sterling and
the Doctor" [ went at once Pau
line was very polite, saying, "Good-
morning Miss Lillian" and placing
chair by the bed.
/ sat down and took Winnie's
hand in my own; my touch seemed
to thrill her, and she opened her
eyes, looking earnestly in my face.
l turned to Pauline and said briefly !:
"Go and bring up DIR. Barron
and the other two gentlemen" She
promptly obeyed, and they came.
First, DIR. Barron, gently drew near
her, and stood by my side. Then,
DIR. Walker entered softly, and took
a seat by the window.
Then came Philip. Kneeling
down at her bedside, he looked in
tently in her face, and took her
other little hand in his own, but
spoke not word.
"Speak to her, Miss Rembert," :"
softly said the Doctor.
1sWinnie, darling, open your eyes
and speak to me, won't you?" She
looked up and said,
"Is 1T yos, Lillian 2"
eyes, dear, and here is Philip,
too-don't you know I told you he
would come to-day ?"
She looked at Philip then, and a
smile broke over the beautiful face
then Philip spoke:
/" Winnie, may love, n,y o,0n darling.
don't you k,aou me 2" She said softly
az think I do, If 1t is not dream
kiss me, Philip"
He did SO tenderly, lovingly, rev.
erentially. She looked pleased and
satisfied, and then like weary child
she nestled up against my breast as
/ leaned by the bedside.

sharpshooters in Mexico.

The victories won by the United States
troops in Mexico years ago have gen.
orally been ascribed to the superior
fighting qualities Of the Americans over
the Mexicans. But Captain Lester s.
Bartlett of the Spencer Rifle Company.
who was recently in Mexico, mentioned
this theory: IAN old Mexican soldier
told me that it was the American sharp
shooters that broke up their troops. All
over Mexico you find what are called
arroyas. They are what we would call
gulches, and occur everywhere in the
plains. They have precipitous banks.
and men sometimes walk into them
without seeing them. They seem to be
the riffs at the bottom Of . sea. which
one day may have covered the country.
The American rifemen would drop into
these arroyas. which formed natural
rifie-pits for them, and, having superior
rifles for those days. were able to pick
off the Msxicans before the latter get
within shooting distance with their
bell-mouth guns. The slaughter that
resulted always broke up the Mexioans
before they got within lighting djs.

HINTS TO SLEEPERS.
The Time Approaching When All or q,

The Time Approaching When All or "a
win Join the Chorus Of snorers.
It is perfectly true that no one ever
heard Of = snoring savage. In fact. if
the wild man Of tho woods and plains
does not sleep quietly, he runs the risk
Of being discovered by his enemy. and
the scalp Of the snorer would soon
adorn the belt Of his crafty and more
silent sleeping adversary. In the nat
ural state, then, natural selection
weeds out those who disturb their
neighbors by making night hideous
with snores. With civilization. how
ever. we have changed all this. The
impure air of our sleeping rooms in-
duces all manner Of catarrhal affec-
tions. The nasal passages are the first
to become affected. Instead of warm-
ing the inspired air on its way to the
lungs and removing from it the dan
gerous impurities with which it is
loaded, tho nose becomes obstructed.
A part of the air enters and escapes by
way Of the mouth. The vail Of the
palate vibrates between the two cur
rents--that through the mouth and the
one still passing through the partially
closed nostrils-like torn sail in the
wind. The snore. then, means that the
sleeper's mouth is partially open. that
his nose is partially closed. and that
his lungs are in danger from the air
not being properly warmed and puri-
fed. From the continual operation II
these causes increase Of impure
air in sleeping rooms and permitting
habitual snorers to escape killing and
scalping-some scientist has predicted
that in the future all men (and the
women. too) will snore. 1t goes along

The evening shades were falling,
The day was almost done
And focks and herds were driven homo
At setting Of the sun.
Whiic lingering In the grassy lane,
Two children passed us by;
We wondered that they walked so late,
And asked the reason why.
"And whittier are you bound" We said,
so near the close Of day.
The night Is coming. little ones,
And you may lose your way"
Their faces wore no trace Of fear,
But seemed OF JOY to tell:
20, we are going home" they said,
'..And know the way quite we'll.
ssTnis narrow psth we'll follow on,
II passes by the mill;
And then our fathers house is near,
Beyond the rising hill"
So on Mfc's journey may their feet
Not turn aside nor stray.
But safely keep the homeward path,
And never miss the way.
